While playing in the mud, Zhu Erbao unexpectedly discovered ghost grass growing in the corner of the wall, which also emitted a faint fragrance.
He tilted his head curiously and stared at the ghost grass for a long time. After smelling the fragrance, he was so surprised that his eyes widened.
Afterwards, he took the Ghost Grass to Liu's side and said happily.
"Mom, this herb smells wonderful, smell it."
Liu was changing Xixi's diaper, still worried about Wang Pozi's instigation of the team members to kill Xixi, and ignored Zhu Erbao, only nodding perfunctorily.
"Okay, Erbao, go play by yourself."
Zhu Erbao looked sadly at the people in the room with the ghost grass in his hand, and found that everyone was worried and busy with their own things.
Just as he sighed in disappointment and turned to leave with the ghost grass in his hand, a pair of hands suddenly appeared in front of him.
He looked up in surprise and saw Pei Sining standing in front of him with Zhu Dabao.
"Erbao, why does that thing in your hand look so familiar?"
Zhu Dabao noticed the ghost grass in Zhu Erbao's hand and curiously reached out to take it from him.
Pei Sining knew that Zhu Dabao would discover the ghost grass in Zhu Erbao's hand, and she smiled as she gave him a hint.
"Could this be exactly what everyone needs?"
Zhu Dabao seemed to have thought of something important, and pulled Zhu Xiaobao to stand in front of Liu Shi.
"Mom, look, isn't this the ghost grass that Third Aunt mentioned? Erbao found it."
Upon hearing Zhu Dabao's words, Liu turned around in surprise to look at the wild grass in her son's hand, finding it increasingly familiar.
Even Sun, who was consulting medical books, hurriedly got up, came to the two of them, and took the Ghost Grass from Zhu Dabao's hands.
She examined the wild grass in her hand with delight, looked at Liu with excitement, and stammered, unable to say a word.
"Sister-in-law, this is...this is..."
"Could this be a ghost grass?"
Liu saw the value of the wild herb from Sun's face and tentatively inquired about it.
Sun nodded with joy and excitement, took the ghost grass and left the room, saying, "Mother, come and see."
"My second son is really amazing; he actually found the life-saving wild grass." After confirming that the grass in her son's hand was indeed the Ghost Grass, Liu happily cupped his little face and kissed him.
Upon hearing his mother's praise, Zhu Erbao felt a surge of strength and pulled her by the hand to the corner of the wall.
"Mother, there are still many here."
Liu was surprised that Zhu Yanyan's painstaking efforts to pick the ghost grass were so easily found by her son.
She became more and more excited as she thought about it, and turned to Zhu Dabao, saying, "Dabao, quickly let your grandma come over here."
Zhu Dabao didn't understand why his mother was so excited, but seeing her excited expression, he smiled and turned to run out the door.
Xixi lay on the straw, looking up at her mother and brother, and happily showed her gums, which were missing her front teeth.
[XiXi's brother is amazing; he found the Ghost Grass so quickly.]
[Mother has been taking care of Xixi and hasn't paid much attention to Second Brother for a long time.]
[Second brother has done a great service this time; Mother will surely reward him handsomely!]
Her daughter's reminder made Liu's heart skip a beat, and she turned to look at her second son, who was laughing foolishly.
Her nose stung with tears, and she pulled him into her arms, stroking his head as she asked, her voice choked with emotion.
"Erbao, have you ever blamed your mother for neglecting you?"
“Mother, Erbao has never blamed you. My sister thinks you should take better care of her.”
Zhu Erbao looked up at his mother's reddened eyes and frowned, shaking his head desperately.
Liu never expected that in just a few months, her son, whom she considered the most mischievous, would grow up and become sensible.
This made her feel even more guilty, so she hugged Erbao and kissed his forehead.
At this moment, Zhu Dabao also brought Old Lady Zhu and his uncle and aunt back to the room and quickly came to Liu Shi.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, is it true that Da Bao found a lot of ghost grass?"
Remembering that she still had things to do, Liu quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and pointed to the ghost grass in the corner of the wall.
"Mother, look! These are ghost grasses."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Zhu hurriedly squatted down in the corner to examine the plant. Curious, she picked a plant from the ground and handed it to Mrs. Sun.
"Third son's wife, quickly check if this is it."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Sun hurriedly reached out and took the Ghost Grass, then took out a book to carefully compare it. After verifying it time and time again...
Excitedly, he looked up and nodded to Old Lady Zhu, "Mother, it's definitely the Ghost Grass."
After Sun confirmed that the plant in his hand was indeed the Ghost Grass, Chen Xiang stepped forward in confusion and asked, "Didn't you say that the Ghost Grass grows in harsh environments?"
"Yes! This concerns everyone's lives, so we need to find out the truth." Wang Haocheng also felt that the Ghost Grass was too easy to obtain, which made him find it hard to believe.
[You idiot uncle, books are lifeless, and so is the environment.]
[Besides, these are all Ghost Grasses that I've carefully inspected; how could there be any mistakes!]
[How stupid of me! The lava is about to attack if we don't leave now.]
The group, who had initially had doubts about the ghost grass, changed their minds after hearing Xixi's reminder.
Without hesitation, Chen Xiang and Wang Haocheng took the Ghost Grass from Sun's hands and stuck it into their waistbands.
The two men instantly changed their expressions and quickly gave instructions to their brothers behind them.
"Get to work quickly and leave here as soon as possible."
As assigned by Old Lady Zhu, each person had a ghost grass stuck in their body and a bag containing ice hanging from their body.
Looking at the group of people who were already ready, Chen Xiang solemnly reminded Grandma Zhu, "Time is of the essence, let's set off immediately!"
"Alright, we don't need the carriages and camels anymore. The only food we have is on you all, so please keep an eye out for food."
Looking at the group of people carrying food, Old Lady Zhu gave them earnest instructions.
Everyone understood Old Lady Zhu's worries, and they all nodded solemnly.
Led by Chen Xiang and Wang Haocheng, the group left the room, and as soon as they opened the door, a wave of heat hit them.
In order to get into the city as soon as possible, everyone decided to take a horse-drawn carriage to the city gate of Hengyang.
When we arrived at the city gate, it was past noon, the hottest time of the day.
The towering city gates were tightly shut, and it was impossible for the group of people to push them open by their own strength.
"What can we do? We can only open the gates once we get into the city."
Chen Xiang, panting, pulled at the headscarf on his head and looked up at the city wall, which was dozens of meters high.
Xi Xi saw the situation from inside the bamboo basket and quickly turned to look at the comfortable and healthy white tiger in the bracelet.
[Go out, enter the city gate, and open it.]
Upon hearing Xixi's command, the white tiger flew out of the bracelet with a whoosh and transformed into the form of a divine beast.
The sudden appearance of the white tiger startled everyone. In fear, they drew their broadswords and retreated backward.
After giving the crowd a cool look, the white tiger flew into the city on auspicious clouds.
A moment later, the city gate slowly opened from the inside, and everyone nervously looked towards the open gate.
